Grid

The compact grid of unit frames lets you select a group member quickly, while keeping a good overview of the whole group. It shows as much information as possible without overloading you. It allows you to customize what information you see, and how you see it. It works in both party and raid groups, and supports pets and vehicles.

Please do not use the Bug/Feature buttons to the right, or send me PMs to ask for help, report problems, or request features. Use the links below instead!

Want more features? The Grid core tries to include only features which are generally useful for all classes and roles, but makes it easy to add new features with a simple plugin API for developers. Over 75 third-party plugins are already available!

IMPORTANT:If you did not download Grid from this page, do not post on this page about any problems you encounter with it. Copies of Grid obtained from anywhere other than the official download pages on WoWInterface and WowAce/Curse, or through the Curse Client or Minion, may be outdated or modified, and are not supported at all.

Grid is compatible with all World of Warcraft localizations. It is currently translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.

To add or update translations for any language, enter them on the WowAce project page. New and updated translations will be automatically included in the next version of Grid!

HINT:The WowAce interface for adding translations is quite cumbersome. To make the process easier, you can use the Export function on WowAce, copy the exported data into your text editor, fill in your translations, and then paste them back into WowAce using the Import function.

Credits

Grid was originally conceived and written by Maia and Pastamancer in late 2006. Phanx has been the primary developer since late 2009. Jerry wrote the original pet support code. Mikk designed the icon. jlam added some advanced options for auras. Greltok has helped a lot with bugfixing. Finally, lots of people have contributed translations!

Version 6.0.3.1710

Temporary fix for raid difficulty detection: LFR, Normal, and Heroic will use your chosen "Flexible Raid" layout, and Mythic will use your "25 Player Raid" layout. In the near future, all built-in layouts will automatically adjust their size for your current raid, and there will only be one "Raid" layout setting.

Fixed an issue with right-click bindings in Clique (ticket #747)

Fixed the Mouseover status not triggering when "Show Tooltip" was set to "Never" (ticket #770)

Status opacity now has its own option, instead of being part of the status color option.

Fixed an issue with range checking while solo (ticket #627).

Fixed an issue causing icons to be hidden on auras with duration text or coloring enabled (ticket #644).

Removed backwards compatibility with WoW 4.x.

The Resurrect status module now uses LibResInfo-1.0.

Added partial Italian localization from kappesante and Holydeath1984.

Removed the Class Filter and Range Filter options for statuses. This was announced on the download page and in the forum thread months ago, and nobody presented any compelling arguments for keeping these options, but if you missed the announcements, and this change ruins your life, please come to the WowAce forum thread and tell us why they were useful.

As for "missing", without more information, I have no idea. Is Grid still enabled at the character screen for that character? Is the minimap/Broker icon visible? What happens when you type "/grid"? Do you have an error catching addon like BugSack, and if so does it report any errors from Grid?

Alternatively, you can just reset the addon to a fresh install state by logging out of WoW and deleting Grid's saved settings file:

Finally, depending on how you relogged (e.g. if you experienced a power surge or outage that turned off or restarted your computer) you might also want to try deleting Grid from your AddOns folder and reinstalling a newly downloaded copy.

Thanks, it was actually a UI addon causing the block, and I got PoM working.

On my priest, I wanted to use an indicator to show if everyone in the group has my Fort and Shadow Protection buffs. I was using an icon indicator as the center icon, but the issue is that I also have pets turned on, and since pets don't get buffed, the center icon always remains on their frames. Is there anyway to exclude pets from a "missing x" indicator?

Is there any way to have Health and Health Deficit to show up as a percentage instead of -numbers?

Find someone to update GridStatusHealthPercent, or accept that health percentages are completely worthless for healing and just use the deficit that's actually useful for choosing the correct heal. If you're not healing, then health numbers really don't matter at all.

Is it posible to make preview of grid raid frames? For example I am not in group and want to see how i looked like in raid. I want to put in my circle action bars like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-QpdFH7Xr8 but I dont know what size should I make. Also does grid have option so I could remove unwanted effects like with Decursive addon?

Is there any way to have Health and Health Deficit to show up as a percentage instead of -numbers? Any script and/or addon that did this is ood so it doesn't work anymore. Anyone know of a working script or addon that enables grid to have percentages?

Hello guys, I have a problem with my Grid frames, when ever I enter a battleground or a raid the fames resets to the middle of the screen. Can I somehow change this so it always stay in the same position?

Grid has nothing to do with casting spells, or the "action in progress" error. Grid also has absolutely no control over whether or not the WoW game client gives it accurate information about incoming healing. Try adjusting the lag tolerance setting in the WoW game client's options menu.

Grid contains no code which changes settings without user action. Either you have some other addon (probably some crappy premade UI package) forcibly overwriting your settings, or there is something wrong with your hard drive and/or operating system and/or WoW installation that is preventing WoW from correctly saving your addon settings between login sessions.

I recently returned to wow so I'm not sure when this was changed but when using Grid and "spamming" heals so that I click the heal before i can actually queue it and getting he "another action is in progress" error the incoming heal (both the text and the bar) will stop displaying. If i just cast a spell and let it finish, or even just wait between spells enough so that i don't get the error I'll have no problems with the inc heals, but if i try to cast it too soon the inc heals indicators just disappear. I'm guessing it has something to do with grid now using the built in blizzard inc heals function, as in previous version i did not have this issue. Is there an option to disable this ?
